sonic1974 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Hi! Looking for some nice PAF style pups for my Studio Custom, if anyone wants to get rid of something nice......Fralins, or WCR, or WB Gregwinds would be my first choice. Hit me a PM if you have some great PAFs that you have to sell. Also interested in Manlius. ps. Looking for something with a cover. Nickle preferred, but I'll take what I can get. Please send it by pm, or you can email directly at: the sonic defender AT Hawtmail dot com sonic defender is typed all in one word. PS, Selling must be OK with shipping to Canada, as...........that's where I be.
JGale Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Not being flippant, but in that guitar, I really have grown to like these. I went through the others you mention (minus the Manilus) and my second choice is the new 36th Anniv. Dimarzios (in their previous incarnation though). The vintage winds play real well with that particular piece of wood.If I had to pick an expensive booty-kay marque, it would be Fralin's standard wind HB.

But I definitely love the GregWinds. +1 on the DiMarzios. I dropped the 36th Anniversary Dimarzios in a very bright sounding Ibanez with a mahogany (that I rewired with new pots, a Hovland Musicap capacitor (.01 mF)) and I think that those sound really good too. Now if I could just get the neck fixed on that thing...if its not one thing, its another...

I will have to read some more info and make a decision.
silentman Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I'd recommend a set of Rio Grandes: BBQ Bucker and a Genuine TX.
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I don't know anything about the BG-pups. Bryan was hanging around here for a little while.
bubs_42 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 my second choice is the new 36th Anniv. Dimarzios (in their previous incarnation though). Whats that comment mean? Have they changed somthing or did I just take it out of text? +1 on the BBQ/Texas set.
atquinn Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the BBQ/Texas set aren't PAFs are they. Anyway, bubs, Dimarzio is positively Hamer-ian in their product codes. Thus their 36th anniversary PAF's replaced their Virtual PAF neck and Virtual PAF bridge/Virtual Hot PAF and I believe they have the same product codes as the previous Virtual PAF set. So, I believe JGale is saying he liked the Virtual PAFs more than the 36th PAFs. As far as BG pickups go, there was a set in the Schroeder tour guitar that I had for a few days and I thought they were very nice, especially the neck pickup.-Austin

As for the Rios' then get a TEXAS SET.. What about WCR's.
Guest pirateflynn Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 What about WCR's.WCR Crossroads and Darkbursts are PAF style but have a little extra booty and juice. A Darkburst in the bridge position can be a good way to balance out an old sustainblock Sunburst and still keep it PAF.

Hope its not too dark.

C'mon payday, hurry up.

I will keep them in mind for next time, thanks for the tip. I have chosen WCR.
